Even with nearly 1.5 million views I feel like this video has not received enough hits. The composer himself said this version is what he had imagined when he was creating the music.
@@ayushgurung9564 It is in an interview with 1Up. On this channel there is a video titled "Hidenori Maezawa hears vertexguy play Contra Jungle Jam". It is toward the end at 5:15.
The one thing this cover had that none of the other covers of any contra cover was the feeling being a big hair heavy metal band, something other guitarist haven’t accomplished. This felt more rock, more metal than mere game music. Bravo!
What's amazing about this cover is that not only did you nail the original, you added a few more new bits onto it that were actually good. Most covers botch their attempts at that.
Recuerdo ver este video con mi hermano en el 2007 cuando por fin tuvimos contacto con youtube y quedar impresionado por como sonaba. Es impresionante ver que han pasado 15 años desde que se subió el video y sigue sonando igual de increíble a como lo recordaba ♥️
That amazing change into his own awesome creation at 1:01. He kept it with the same spirit, as if Kazuki Muraoka himself were to have made it. That is true talent. I wish this guy was still uploading videos like this.
I just finished watching this, and I'm still covered in chills. I've played guitar for 3 decades, and it always makes me smile when someone's dynamics are this incredible. Tasteful solos, that aren't gaudy or overdone. Just superb.... instant favorite!!
Omg! today this video turned 10 years, what a memories, i can't believe that i found this vid 9 years ago... why don't you do a 10th aniversary remake of this vid?
Took me years to find you. Used to watch you way back when this video was only a year old. I heard someone elses cover and thought to myself: " ive heard a better one" thanks for still being up!
Wowwww... I was dying to pay contra in my childhood mostly because of its music!!!!..What a nostalgia!!., A big thanks for reproducing it in guitar version...
This is the best version ever. I have been listening to this video but I never got to search in TH-cam but finally got to.. I wish u could remake this version again
You know, I watch this vid once every few weeks, I used to more often. And every time I do, I assure myself that this WAS, IS and WILL BE the best version of the piece ever made. You sir, are a GENIUS.
Nothing but awesomeness and nostalgia here!. Thanks for the great content back then and I hope that youdo return to do newer "Hits" like this good sir!. 🤞🤞🤞
10 years later and still the best cover
Indeed, the best by far!

This deserves more appreciation.. even after 17 years....I feel the same thrill as the first time I was introduced to this..
Truly Amazing...
15 years later , still the best cover..😭😭😭
Suddenly remembered this video after years and gives you the same chills 🤯
Me too bruh!!
Same, even here in 2022 this song brings back so much. And he smashes it so hard.
i was just struck by a nostalgyriff and had to come here. luckily "contra guitar" got this first. some old youtube stuff is just amazing.
Vomitron.
After 17 years.... this is still the best cover of Contra. Ever.
Listen to Vomitron.
@@NinjaRunningWild Vomitron's cover is awesome, and they do all the stages :D
Even with nearly 1.5 million views I feel like this video has not received enough hits. The composer himself said this version is what he had imagined when he was creating the music.
Totally agree

It's 2020. Still one of best things on TH-cam.
This is one of the first video i watched on TH-cam back in 2006 and i still watch this video at least once a year.
+vertexguy Please redo it for the 10th Anniversary !
+Anirudra Diwakar I will definitely consider it...although right now my gear is in need of a lot of repair. :/
+vertexguy We definitely miss your contributions. You got insane talent.
Make it longer as well! Thank you for 10 years of listening this from time to time and jamming!
18 Jahre sind vergangen und dieses Meisterwerk ist so schön wie eh und je! Vielen Dank für so ein wunderbares Thema 😊
I remember watching this in highschool after googling "contra guitar" and being blown away. 18 years later and still amazing
17 years later and I still think of this cover at times.
Those bends at 1:38 might be the best I have ever heard on guitar, EVH would be envious. Fantastic rendition!
Wow, I'm tearing at the eyes right now.
Pure awesomeness!
Oh the memories..
The one thing this cover had that none of the other covers of any contra cover was the feeling being a big hair heavy metal band, something other guitarist haven’t accomplished. This felt more rock, more metal than mere game music. Bravo!
18 years later and still the best cover! The golden age of the games, movies and guitar covers was around 2006-7!
holy fuck! this vid is 9 years old!!
The M.K.M. :v
holy shit! you're right!!!
you're making me feel old! ;)

+vertexguy Damn... Nagguh...
15 years later and still no cover can beat him
17 years later and still the same.
16 years and still epic man thank you very much
18 years and it's still the best cover
What's amazing about this cover is that not only did you nail the original, you added a few more new bits onto it that were actually good. Most covers botch their attempts at that.
damn, this has already 15 years and it never gets old
The best version. Definitely
I love how this is a really really really old video. It means that as soon as youtube became popular, someone thought to do this ! GOOD !
I remember seeing this when it was only just uploaded all that time ago. Still sounds just as awesome.
17 years later and this cover is still amazing o,o...
Best contra guitar version, period.

I can't up-thumb this enough. This is truly brilliant.
15 years later and still the best cover, we survived the apocalypses thanks to @vertexguy and his covers.
TH-cam should allow people to add the second "like" to this video.

16 years and it's still the best COVER!!!
I've watched this so many times ever since it was first uploaded and to this day, it never fails to rock
the fuck.. you're playing it how ever you think it goes. and that's wrong. any amateur could hear that... why? :(
And you are? Oh, a complete fucking NOBODY. Please go troll somewhere else, shitstain.
Mtaalas is right though... too many "video game cover musicians" rush A LOT of their covers, yet get a lot of views... it's a fucking shame.
And? Who cares we call it free style dummie!!!can u do better? Don't think so right!!
Mark McEla It sounds amazing, what are you talking about?
minipaganini It looks like you don't have an ear, "mini paganini". I'm quite certain that even the real Paganini would point out the rytmical errors.
20 years later... still the GOAT!
I've known about this video for years, and that solo part at about a minute in still blows me away! What fantastic tone!
One of the first videos i ever watched in TH-cam back in 2006, what a memories.
This is the best version ... hands down ... period. ... Chris' other game tracks are also awesome
This is the best version ever. I have been listening to this video but I never got to search in TH-cam but finally got to.. I wish u could remake this version again
17 years later, WOW. Amazingly done!!
You know, I watch this vid once every few weeks, I used to more often. And every time I do, I assure myself that this WAS, IS and WILL BE the best version of the piece ever made. You sir, are a GENIUS.
2017.....and i'm still watching..and loving it!
Damn, I commented on this 12 years ago... this is still amazing.
15 years later and STILL the best cover /ht Hippy Treehugger
I cant believe i´ve been watching this video at least every week for the last 10 years!!!
Its amazing how metal old video game music was.
Incredible job dude...keep em coming
Nothing but awesomeness and nostalgia here!. Thanks for the great content back then and I hope that youdo return to do newer "Hits" like this good sir!. 🤞🤞🤞
This video is almost 11 years old and I still love it!
Truly unbelievable. Absolutely great.
Almost a 15 year old video, and this version is still the best. Gets me pumped.
114 people forgot their contra code and couldn't beat the first level.
This is the best contra theme I've heard, keep rockin,
God this guy does such a good job with these covers .
Man, You made me remember the good times in tears.
Thanks.
